Godaddy Bug Being Fixed

Earlier i reported what appeared to be a security breach at Godaddy.com.

Since posting I've spoken to Harry Chemin, their chief of security and Barb Rechterman, the Senior VP and they assure me that the problem will be fixed tonight.

What was the problem?

The bug occurs when you order a transfer of a domain - What happens is that the next time you go to order a domain, the last transfer's contact details appear in the system as your own.

In most circumstances this wouldn't cause much issue but if you're ordering a transfer from somebody else, those details appear as yours - this caused me some concern recently and thanksfully, it's being dealt with now.

It's a pity that their customer service didn't handle this in a professional manner - see the other post for details...

Thanks Barb and Harry.
